Parents and students signed safety pledges emphasizing on traffic safety around the school.

Hoge added that drivers and pedestrians need to be aware not only around Monte Vista but in all school areas especially with the recent accidents in Glendale schools â€” the October fatality when an 11-year-old was struck and killed by a driver in front of Toll Middle School and the more recent accident involving a Wilson Middle School student that was struck in the crosswalk by a vehicle. The student was transported to Glendale Adventist with injuries to her leg and hip.
